Political Strateegery

This has been all over the headlines today. Obama's aunt- the one that lives in public housing complex in South Boston may be in the U.S. illegally. This aunt, Zeituni Onyango, is Obama's father's half sister. Immigration and Customs Enforcement won't release any details, citing confidentiality. However, they are investigating who leaked the information to the media, and whether it was done to undermine Obama's campaign. Let's not forget the $265 she contributed to the Obama campaign (which the campaign is returning to her). What's the issue here? That Obama didn't turn her in? That Obama didn't know about her immigration status? That someone associated to him genetically would dare do such a thing? I'm trying to get a handle on… Continue reading

Here is what appears to be a anti drug message by the Albuquerque Police Department produced sometime in the early 90's. The mulletted lead singer is Darren White, current GOP candidate for NM's 1st Congressional District (Abq, Rio Grande valley).

Ashwin Madia, the Democratic candidate for Minnesota's 3rd district is running against Republican Erik Paulson.  In an ad funded by the National Republican Congressional Committee, it appears that the photos have been edited to make Madia (Marine, Iraq vet) look darker.  Here are the photos, judge for yourself: Is this a message intended to foster the hope to a return of an American melting pot?  Or is this an effort to make this candidate look like a threat because of his brown skin? **Incidentally, what kind of geniuses are running the  RNCC?  Why would they edit photos for which there unaltered copies to compare?…

I really think these two videos speak for themselves so I'm not sure I need to give much of an introduction. My main question is... how much are they paying these people?

Tito the Builder

Hey McCain... yoo hoo Palin... just have one thing to say: Let my people go!! Really... these people don't give a flying rats arse about Tito and his fellow Mexicans. Now all of a sudden they're cheering him on? Poor guy... let's go have a real conversation with him. And didn't Palin just say the other day that she didn't want to be labeled? Well what in the hell is she doing to Tito, and the Joe's? I guess it's ok for her to label other people, just don't do it to her.

Blacks against Obama

I just don't… Continue reading

It seems our second favorite MILF, McCain surrogate Nancy Pfloatinhymen, really put her foot in it today.  Watch as Nancy tells us EXACTLY where the real Americans are.  Combined with the verbal diarrhea from Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) yesterday, we have ourselves a double shot of intolerance and xenophobia. Nice!  It is her delivery that cracks me up.  She speaks like it's the most obvious thing in the world that the only 'real' Americans are John McCain supporters.  It is completely lost on her that there are other points of view. I am a rabid partisan, but I don't fool myself that there are (or used to be, at least) smart, well meaning conservatives.  People are either progressive or conservative, each side has it's own nuts and geniuses.  Then there are… Continue reading

This is the class act Minnesota has chosed to represent them. Currently she is up by 4% points with 17 days left to go. She has managed to piss off a large amount of people with her little McCarthyism rant on Hardball today. This is the stuff we are up against as liberals and progressives, it's scary. These folks are only a tic away from violence. I want my country back. Update: here is the link to sign a petition to censure Mrs. Bachmann for her inflammatory remarks: http://www.censurebachmann.com/
